"Come on girls! Let's go!" Abby yells and we rush into the studio, "Congratulations, overall high score winner!"
We all clap.
"I wish it was a great weekend," Abby says, "It wasn't so great. I saw some things that I hoped to never see again. Did you ever hear that expression? It's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye?"
"Let's get to this pyramid," Abby says, "Of course, Payton. You have yet to admit that you were fooling around. First you tripped over the leg of the chair, then it was Kendall's leg, then Eva's leg, but I'm hearing that you were making fun of the ballet routine onstage and you were doing ballet steps and fooling around and that's how you fell."
And the truth finally comes out...
"Who are you hearing these stories from?" Leslie asks.
"Every single person backstage," Abby says, pointing to me and the girls.
"She turned around and tripped over a prop!" Leslie says, "Don't try to make lies about my daughter!"
"Payton put this entire team and your victory in jeopardy," Abby says.
"If you don't want her on the team and you wanna kick her off, just kick her off!" Leslie yells.
"Goodbye, you're out," Abby says.
"Goodbye," Leslie says, "Let's go Payton. Remember that when you go to ask her back next time."
They leave the studio.
And goodbye to another team member...
"Every single one of you have learned in this studio what is acceptable behavior backstage. Is it acceptable to be dancing, to be fooling around in the wings when another group is performing?" Abby asks.
We all shake our heads.
"If you learned one thing this past weekend, everyone's replaceable," Abby says, "Next on the pyramid, Kendall. Jill?"
"I wasn't backstage," Jill says.
"This kid is out of control!" Abby yells.
"No she's not," Jill says.
"Yes she is!" Abby yells, "Nip it in the butt. You made Payton's little scene in the bathroom look like nothing."
"I have a card for you," Kendall says.
"Well, put it over there," Abby says and Kendall goes to put it down.
"Next, Nia. Did you get yelled at last week? I think you blended in and that's a compliment," Abby says, "Next, Brooke. You forgot choreography. Your timing was off. You are 15, you should not be making these mistakes."
"Next, we have Chloe. Did you ever ask anyone connected with the Believe Talent Competition and ask for your order to be switched?" Abby asks.
Chloe shakes her head.
"How were you in the program dancing first and ended up dancing last?" Abby asks.
"Because I went backstage and asked what the order was," Chloe says.
"So why didn't you want to dance first?" Abby asks.
"Because I wanted to watch my competition and see what I needed to do to win," Chloe says.
"And next, Eva. You were good. You had a nice, easy week. You looked good in the group," Abby says, "Next, Paige. I thought your facial expressions were over the top and that you outdanced Brooke and Chloe."
"Next, Mackenzie. It was clean, it was cute,I didn't go home talking about it," Abby says, "On top of the pyramid, Maddie. Great job in the group. It was a good number. It looked beautiful."
